MELFA industrial robots Features in detail Robots from € 1.65/hr Calculated on the basis of their average service life, around 6–7 years in typical applications, Mitsubishi Electric robots have a surprisingly low total cost of ownership at around € 1.65 per hour for both purchasing and operation. Enclosed housing and IP54 for maximum protection and hygiene Internally-routed cables and hoses prevent snagging on peripheral equipment. Mitsubishi Electric servo motors for ultimate performance and speed Versatility Small robots have been used in more than 30,000 applications in widely differing fields...

MELFA industrial robots Simple programming A powerful range of robots needs an equally powerful and user-friendly programming interface. Mitsubishi Electric’s RT  Toolbox3 packages are powerful programming and simulation software tools tailored precisely for the needs of your robots. Intelligent metal construction and twin-arm structure give the robots particularly high rigidity and precision. All the gripper hands of the articulated-arm robots conform to the ISO 9409-1 standard. Network capabilities The high-precision Harmonic Drive transmission helps to provide exceptional repeatability performance....

Precision and flexibility Pharmaceutical industry Modular control concepts and pharmaceutical industry certification make MELFA robots the ideal partner in the life sciences sector. Integral database connection and an all-embracing control concept facilitate modular and flexible applications in any field where quality and production data have to be backed up in a comprehensible manner. Automotive industry Increasing hygiene demands, a variety of products and the traceability of production processes are ensured with MELFA robots – now and in the future. Highly accurate and extremely flexible MELFA...

Packaging High-performance and flexibility are a matter of course for MELFA robots. It goes equally without saying that all Mitsubishi Electric automation components can be incorporated. These include additional axes, PLC controllers and operating terminals. Furthermore, cameras can be connected and robots synchronised with conveyor belts. These functions enable packaging tasks to be carried out reliably, quickly and continuously. Electronics and mechanical engineering Mitsubishi Electric provides a wide range of products from parallel-arm robots for the micro assembly of miniature components...

Technical features The technology in detail Based on these functions, saving of safety equipment and a reduction of safeguarded space is possible which leads to a reduction of cost and space while meeting all safety requirements at the same time. Sensor-controlled robots with image processing Mitsubishi Electric’s industrial robots can be connected to any object recognition camera system via the Ethernet port or the robot controller’s RS232 interface. This enables static and moving parts to be detected with the correct positional information. More safety The DIN ISO-10218 safety standard is common...

Technical features Simple integration into complex applications Up to eight additional axes can be connected directly to the robot controller with just one cable. Of these, two axes can be used as additional interpolating axes, e.g. as the seventh and eighth robot axis. The special feature compared with other systems is that all additionally connected axes can be programmed in exactly the same way as the robot, using the same Teach-Box or the standard RT ToolBox3 software. This avoids the additional expense of software, training and programming. More efficient monitoring and maintenance functions...

Software for industrial robots Programming and simulation 3D-simulation with RT Toolbox3 Pro The RT Toolbox3 Pro add-in tool for ­SolidWorks enables a robot in a production system to be simulated on a PC, and converts the workpiece paths into robot position data. Supplementing the SolidWorks platform by the addition of RT Toolbox3 Pro extends the simulation functions and opens up new simulation possibilities. The CAD data of the system can be directly imported Grippers can be connected directly to the robot Handling of workpieces Simulation of a Mitsubishi Electric industrial robot directly in...
